Some houses are part of a neighborhood. This enduring fieldstone landmark is part of Thamesford's story. Built circa 1860 -1870, this distinctive Ontario Farmhouse Georgian has roots reaching back to the McCarty family and early development of the village. After 66 years in the care of one family, 184 Washington is ready for its next steward - and opportunities to own a home this recognizable don't come along often! Set well back from the street on just under 1/3 acre, a long stamped-concrete drive + sculptural evergreens beautifully frame that remarkable fieldstone exterior that's been turning heads for generations. And at 160-ish years old - She wears it beautifully! Inside, the pride of ownership is just as apparent. Approx. 1942 SF, 3 bedrooms + 3 baths. The charming living room pairs 9' ceilings with a picture window, window seat + built-ins, while French doors open to a timeless 4-season sunroom. The kitchen flows into a generous dining room, where high ceilings + warm natural pine give this gathering space, its unmistakable farmhouse feel. The family room leans right into the farmhouse character with barnboard walls, a gas fireplace, built-ins, bar + big picture window. An adjoining 143 SF flex room with its own entrance works for an office, playroom, den or potential main-flr bedroom, while the nearby 4-pc bath opens the door to future one-floor living. Main-flr laundry/mudroom keeps everyday life practical. Outside, enjoy a large south-facing stone-walled patio, covered side patio, outdoor fieldstone fireplace, privacy fencing + newer 10 x14' Ben shed. Add extensive stamped concrete, steel roof, 14kW whole-home generator, generous parking, room to explore a future garage + basement workshop/storage. All on an enviable quiet street where school, parks, pool, river trails, dog park + village amenities are an easy walk. You may have driven past it for years. You may have always admired it. Now, for the first time since 1960, 184 Washington could be yours!
